Robert Meehan Jr.
Montville — Robert Henry “Rob” Meehan Jr., 57, of Waterville, Maine, and Uncasville, passed away unexpectedly April 2, 2024. Robert was born April 23, 1966, in Cranston, R.I., the son of Robert H. Meehan Sr. and the late Florence (Orr) Meehan. He was married to Susan (Comeau) Meehan, who survives him.
Robert was a lieutenant (badge #118) with the North Kingstown Fire Department for 25 years, retiring in 2019, and a member of the International Association of Fire Fighters. He loved to ski and was a longtime member of the National Ski Patrol, most recently, loving his retirement job at Pleasant Mountain in Bridgton, Maine. Above all, he valued family and loved and supported his children in their Mohegan culture. His unofficial tribal name was “Just Daddy.” If there was a call for volunteers, Rob was always the first hand up, even with his Cyndimae in tow.
In addition to his loving wife Susan, he is survived by his children, Cass Meehan-Marinich (Sara), Corrine Meehan, Catrina Meehan (Eli) and Emma Haslip; and by his siblings: Robin Meehan-Halloran (John), Richard Meehan (Michelle), Regina Kilday (Tom), Mike Meehan, Nicole
Meehan, Kathleen Regan-Pyne (Roy), Beth Regan (Geri), Joann Regan, Tim Regan, and Joseph Comeau; and by many cousins, nieces and nephews. Robert was predeceased by his daughter Cyndimae Martha Meehan.
Rob was raised in the Mishnock area of West Greenwich and had close ties to the community throughout his life, from volunteering with the Lake Mishnock Volunteer Fire Department when he was younger, to being Santa to neighborhood children for many years and more recently, serving the community with the Coventry-West Greenwich Lions Club.
